Address Bar & Search

With the update to Firefox 57.0.1, some users may experience a search reset. If they had their default a search plugin installed before Firefox 45 or installed by a legacy add-on, it will be silently reset to the default engine of their region. Users who are more likely to have customized the engine will see a prompt offering an easy one click way to keep the current default.

I really love the new improvements to Firefox Nightly. It’s really remarkable that we’re picking up Quantum Speed for everything.

I would like some great developers that I really love and admire to implement the FIDO U2F v1.1 JS API. It really gets annoying that I have to use Chrome to use FIDO U2F, because it simply doesn’t work on Firefox Quantum yet.

I think it would be very Quantumic to implement this API for the millions of users of this 2FA system. SMS 2FA is very obsolete now, and it has quite a bit of security vulnerabilities. The current trend is to avoid anything that has to do with Phone carriers, because their vault security is as good as a broken glass bottle.

I really love you guys. I am learning to program on Coursera, and I hope to make Firefox super good in the future. I mean good.
